Please don’t flame me guys on the ‘muting VOD posting’ 
That chuncking guitar instrumental track that I keep hearing when I am going through Catchup menu, advertising Picturebox has got into my skull – and I don’t know what it is.
Please can someone put me out of my misery??
Thanks
I cannot access this at all, get an message saying On Demand is not available, yet EVERY other On Demand option is available, I have watched videos from Love It and Top Tunes, but cannot even get to What’s New?
Anyone else got this, I am in Sheffield.
Thanks,
Matt
Saw an advert last night with Richard Branson saying something “awesome” is about to happen to Virgin 1, with the date 9.06.09.
Anyone know what it’s about?
Dare I mention HD?
Although I don’t post very often I enjoy the forum and have found it helpful. One thing that puzzles me is when referring to a thread starter members call him/her the OP. What does that mean?
Now I am fairly new to Digital TV I bought a Freeview set from Argos £79.99 on the side it says its an EX ITV Digital set top.When open ed it appeared to be new.its a Philips DTX6371.Now the questions I have are these & I would like answers from someone who speaks direct I dont understand Mux this & C that!!
Q1.How efficent is this model of reciever a rating out of 10 would be good.
Q2.What is going to be broadcat on Ch 14,15,46,801???& what are the prospects of further new channels
Thanks guys & Merry Christmas
I now have 3 blank screens channel 14,Chanel 15 & chanel 800 which says its ITN news
Anyone know if there are any new channels coming??
When I get my letter from the Administrators I’m thinking I might just give them the 40 quid and keep the box. It appears to work perfectly well, I can receive all the channels, it handles the 16QAM OK, there is no noticable difference between switching 16/64QAM as 16/16, and the picture quality is very good.
If I had had the opportunity to pay an extra £40 for ownership of the box when I signed up to ITV digital I would have certainly done so, so I am sort of looking at this as a buy now pay later for what was, at the time, new technology.
Can anyone come up with 60quid’s worth of advantages that a new £100 box would have over the current one (Pioneer)?
If I’m convinced that I should get a new box then I’ll do so and send the old one back, but quite frankly I don’t see the point in getting a new one just for the sake of it (and an extra £60).
Incidentally, I’m not going to try to evade the administrators, and I personally don’t see any point in giving the box back just to spite them – Grant Thornton have not done anything wrong and they provided us with a highly entertaining radio interview!
I am devoting this thread to news on freeview, only official news backed up my a website link or media report.
News from November:
Channel 4 to launch new digital channel.
Freeview off to a good start.
SDN may introduce pay-tv element.
News from December:
UKTV renamed UK Bright Ideas.
Now/Next Sytem up and running.
Shuffle of muxes:
-ITV News moving to Digital3&4 multiplex
-Ch14 deleted from CrownCastle Multiplex, now added to Digital3&4 multiplex for channel 4’s new channel
-Ch15 and space left on SDN multiplex.
Any more OFFICIAL news…
I’ve lost all my BBC channels from (I think) mux on 59. Everything else is fine ? Anyone else on Bluebell hill having the same problems ?
Before today I have had a near perfect reception on all channels via my old Nokia OnDigital box. This morning however the reception is appalling with blocking even worse than the bad old days of OnDigital. This is on all channels and sometimes gets so bad that the picture reduces to a flickering green screen. Even the sound quality on the radio channels is affected.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or is it more likely to be something amiss with my box/aerial? I’m on the Essex/Suffolk border and don’t know which transmitter I receive from, but I think Sudbury is the nearest. :’(
